[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP16 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 16] Senior. What’s wrong? Why must we meet here? I need to have a word with you in private. What is it? It’s about the case. I want to withdraw the case. Why? Even if Wan Chuanjia was sent to jail, how would it help me?
How wouldn’t it help you? At least when you think about what happened, you won’t be in pain. You won’t be as stressed. I felt the same way. When it happened, I even thought about taking my own life. I thought my life would be ruined. I thought I would never
Be freed from the trauma. I showered three to four times a day, but I still felt filthy. But then, when I started job hunting in the city, my landlord asked me to pay the rent. I had no money, so I could only afford a Jianbing Guozi a day. (*a popular Chinese street food)
I went to several banks to get new credit cards to pay the debts from before. During that time, the incident never came to my mind. A few days ago, my sister went into labor and suffered blood loss. I visited her at the hospital. I didn’t even have enough money for a fruit basket.
I wanted to steal or even rob someone. But then again, I didn’t think about that scum. Besides, when my sister suffered blood loss, it was the secretary who asked the villagers to donate blood. Wan Chuanjia’s father did that. If Wan Chuanjia was sent to jail because of me,
My sister would be loathed in Wan Village. People will call her an ingrate and say that she repaid the Wan family with a vengeance. What did they offer you? Did Mr. Han and the defendant make a deal? That must be the main cause. It was 100,000 yuan. They pay in cash
And the full amount. Wanjia Group hired Yidao for their legal counsel. I get a 20 percent cut from representing Wanjia Group. Did you agree? So why bother coming to me and asking me to help you with the lawsuit? You were worried they might double-cross you, weren’t you? I know he is double-crossing me.
I know he is using me as a bargaining chip. But I now find his offer somewhat acceptable. I know you don’t have any money and that your life is tough. I am willing to help you. I can understand if you refuse my help. But why are you acting like Han?
How could you agree to use the lawsuit as a deal? Why did you end up like this? I am genuinely shocked. Sorry. I know you’ve been nice to me. I’d rather make a deal than accept alms from others. I’m in desperate need of money. I am desperate to have stability
In this big city. I wish I could be on your side. I want to uphold what’s right together with you. But we are from different worlds. For me, the current circumstances won’t work. Do you understand? I can. But it’s unacceptable for me. It seems the case has nothing to do with me anymore.
Was I wrong? No, you weren’t. Perhaps, Xingyun wasn’t wrong either. I just don’t get it. It has nothing to do with me. So why am I upset? Did you fall for Xingyun? Maybe. But… we’re not that close. I shouldn’t get myself into a struggle over a case. I’ve never felt this way before.
I don’t get it. How could she give up so easily? Doesn’t she know this incident would affect her entire life? You can’t make everyone think like you. Look at us. We look like the same kind of people. But you grew up in the city. And me? I grew up in the countryside.
When there is trouble, the way we think and see things will be different. But this case has a different meaning for Xingyun. It concerns her pride. Ever heard this saying? Poverty stifles aspirations. Is that what you think? I wish that wasn’t the case, but it’s the reality. There must be someone
Who wants to live differently. Mr. Han. Xingyun, could you please knock before you enter? Sorry, I forgot. Have you made up your mind? They are back! They are back! Hurry up! Come in. Come on. Come in. Come in. Welcome back. Hurry, let us take a look. Take it slowly. Be careful.
There are things in the trunk. Take it easy, Dad. Be careful. Let’s have a look. Who does the baby take after? Go inside and take a rest. Check out the baby. Thank you, sir. Let’s go inside. Say hi to Grandpa. He’s your grandpa. You were discharged? Okay.
I’ll visit you in a few days. Rest well. Bye, Xingfu. Senior! Senior! Senior! Why haven’t you been to work lately? Are you alright? I’m alright. Are you… I… I resigned. Why? It’s nothing. I just wanted to quit. Is it about my case? Just a little bit. Senior. You shouldn’t… Actually,
I’ve wanted to leave Yidao for quite some time now. Your lawsuit got me to make up my mind. But it’s not the most important factor. Don’t take it to heart. After all this time, I finally realized that a renowned law firm might not be a righteous one. I talked with a few lawyers
Who are also my friends. We plan to found our own law firm. From there on, we can uphold our ideals and start anew. We can do what we want. But, Senior, the competition is too intense. It will be hard for a new law firm to grow. We each have our callings. Senior. Xingyun.
Best of luck. (*her name means “luck”) Come in. Mr. Han. Why did Mr. Guan resign? He wanted to leave. I agreed. You shouldn’t have. We… We need lawyers like him. He can manage a welfare lawsuit and come up with a fancy defense. He’s good at these kinds of things.
But the cases he took couldn’t bring our firm any profit. If he wanted to leave, so be it. You must look past the profit. Isn’t our reputation just as important? Can reputation bring us any profit? Can a good reputation pay your rent? Can it pay your credit card debts? But profit can bring
A good reputation. Look at the famous lawyers. They only have their reputation after they have a good financial background. Society worships capitalist heroes. Do not repeat Guan Tao’s mistake. Not everyone can do what he did. We each have our callings. Now that Guan Tao is gone, you can take his place. I’ll assign
More tasks for you. As for my assistant, I’ll hire another. Okay? Look. You got everything you want. Why are you still upset? Mr. Han, I think Mr. Guan deserves better than this. Stop looking for trouble. Okay? I’m a busy man. You should leave now. [Signing Ceremony for Perennial Legal Counsel Appointment]
Thank you so much. [Wanjia Group] Cailiang. Let’s have lunch together. Yes. I’ll pass. I still have piles of work to go through. We have plenty of chances to meet again. Very well. Cailiang. Serve our guests. Okay. Have a nice day. Mr. Han. We’re all counting on you. Xingyun. Congratulations. Mr. Han.
Now that we are here, I want to pay my sister a visit. You may go on without me. The contract has been signed. They will wire you the money. Check your account from time to time. Alright. I’ll give you half a day of leave. Okay? Yes. Thank you, Mr. Han.
Don’t take too long. Mr. Han. Allow me to see you off. Sure. Please. Mr. Mo. This way. Chuanjia. Why did the young lady look so familiar? Was that He Xingfu’s sister? Was she the one you picked on when you were wedding hazing? You’re my father, how could you say that?
I don’t understand a word you say. Now you feel embarrassed? Was it her? Yes, it was her. What was she doing here? Maybe she wanted to witness the signing ceremony so that she can rest assured. How does she fit into all of this? She is now working as Mr. Han’s trainee lawyer.
She works at Yidao Law Firm. Dad. Alright, that’s all. You may go now. Sure. [Amount received: 100,000 yuan] Ms. Lin. Aren’t you Xingfu’s sister? I’m here to visit my sister. She’s inside. I bought some gifts. You’re too kind. We’re a family. It’s okay. I bought these on my way here. Thank you.
Okay, she’s inside? I’ll go check on her. Go on. Stay for dinner. Sure. You withdrew the case? Yes. Is it because Mr. Wan saved me? Is that why you gave up? At first, I wanted myself to believe that was the reason. But I can’t bring myself to lie to you.
That wasn’t the reason. Why, then? This is it. I signed a settlement agreement with Wan Chuanjia. If I were you, I would never agree with this. Before I got here, I had already received the notification. The money has been transferred to my account. You know, for the first time
Since I graduated from college, I don’t have to worry about money. I’ve never felt this before. Qinglai. Qinglai. Mr. Wan. Qinglai. Thank you. You got me a banner? Thank you so much. Sure thing. Cailiang, take this. Here. Have a look. A healthy baby indeed. Youde. You’re a lucky old man. I am blessed.
Thank you, Mr. Wan. You have a grandson now. Xingfu, you did great. Wan Village’s future generation is here. Youde, you have a blessed family. But, Xingfu, make sure you rest well and recover. [Wanjia Group Health Products Factory] [Main Structure Completed] [Congratulations on completing the construction of Wanjia Group’s Health Products Factory] You’re back.
Are you going out? How is the construction? The machines will arrive next week. We’ll start installing and setting up. What about the sewage treatment plant? That is not making as much progress. But it should be completed early next month. Keep an eye on it. Before the factory is completed,
The supporting facilities must be ready. Don’t worry about it. Another thing. When it’s time for the grand opening of the health product factory, could you invite the higher-ups of the county for the ribbon cutting? Sure. I’ll inform the higher-ups. Okay. I consider you left early today. Stop bugging me. I’m working. Thank you!
Thanks. Thank you. Thanks. Good boy. Xiuyu! Hush. Mr. An, welcome! Get them two seats. What is taking Mr. Wan so long? Mr. Wang! Welcome. Come in. Okay. Take a seat. Maybe he’s caught up with work. Calm down. How can I? Everyone is almost here. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Pause the game. It’s time to go. What is this about? Where are we going? The hundred-day banquet for Xingfu’s baby. I’m not going. This banquet is a great opportunity for you to meet the villagers and talk to them. Have a drink, and everything will be water under the bridge.
You think I care about some drinks? I can’t afford their drink. Just not long ago, they were trying to sue me. It took a great deal to settle them down. Go if you want, but I’m staying. You are too petty. You won’t amount to anything. Mr. Wan! Mr. Wan is here! Welcome.
Mr. Wan is here! Mr. Wan is here! Have a seat. Xingfu! Let’s welcome him. Mr. Wan is here. Show him the baby. A wonderful child. The baby looks healthy. Adorable, right? This is great. Youde, here. You’re a blessed man. Wait. Take this. Thank you, Mr. Wan. Thank you. Take a seat.
Have a seat. Sit down and eat heartily. Over here. -Have a seat here. -Over here. -Be careful. -Xingfu, have a seat. Be careful. Here, my in-law. Sure. Go on. Let’s have a drink. Here. Here, let’s drink up. Cheers. Madam. Cheers. Cheers. Dig in, Mr. Wan. Mr. Wan, would you like to
Give us a speech? Not today. Let’s dig in. Give a speech. It’s just a speech. Forget it. Not today. Ladies and gentlemen. Everyone, settle down! Mr. Wan is here. Let’s ask him to give us a speech! Alright? Yeah! Alright. I’ll make it brief. On the joyous hundred-day banquet of the Wang family’s grandson,
I have good news for all of you. My superiors have informed me. Wan Village has been nominated to participate in the assessment of Entrepreneurship in Rural Communities. Great! Enough. I have a question for you all. Let’s see if anyone can answer it. Does anyone know how many
Rural communities are there in the province? How many are there? I don’t know. No idea. I’ll tell you the answer. There are 12,689 rural communities. That’s a lot. It’s a tough challenge. The higher-ups had to hand-pick five villages out of the thousands. Wan Village is currently in second place. That is
A great honor for us all. Yeah! I think it’s all thanks to Mr. Wan’s leadership! Without Mr. Wan, we wouldn’t have such a pleasant life here. Indeed! It’s the result of our endeavor. I must say this. We must keep working harder. If we get first place, you have my word that each household
Will be rewarded. Yeah! Come on. Let’s raise a toast for Wan Village and the wonderful future ahead. Cheers! Cheers! Raise your glass! Thank you, Mr. Wan. -Thank you, Mr. Wan. -Thanks, Mr. Wan. You did great, Mr. Wan. Thank you. Xingfu. Can you still drink? I don’t think I can. Who might you be?
Excuse me, which of you is Wan Shantang? Mr. Wan. I am Wan Shantang. Mr. Wan, nice to meet you. We are from the County Joint Investigation Unit. We need your cooperation for an investigation. So, where should we discuss it? Let’s go to the town’s guest house. Sure. It’s alright. Carry on without me.
Which of you is He Xingfu? I am. Hello. My name is Zhai Lin. I am from the Joint Investigation Unit. You wrote an appeal letter and we received it. Can I have a word with you? Write the details. Tell the authority. Make an appeal. Sure. I can tell the story,
But to write it down… Where should I send it? Xingfu, write down the whole story. I’ll send it for you. What is this about an appeal letter? An appeal letter is a filed complaint. But the lawsuit was over. Why would they file a complaint afterward? That’s right. We are here today
To verify some information. What is it? We received an appeal letter. The letter mentions there were some unreasonable compensation of land acquisition. The higher-ups are paying close attention. We are sent here to learn the whole story. That was… It happened a long time ago. Everything has been settled. I’m glad to hear that.
Your village is not the only developing village. Every village is developing. They all run into the same issues. The county administration is handling the issues with extreme caution. We’ve investigated over a dozen of villages in the county. Look. Could you tell us the whole situation? The letter was about
Our objections to the compensation amount. It’s not a complaint against Mr. Wan. Why did you take him away? It’s not against Mr. Wan, and we didn’t take him away. As a secretary of the village party branch, it’s normal for him to help us with the investigation. I see. He Xingfu, look. Tell us
Everything you know about the incident. He Xingfu! Come out! Wang Qinglai, where is your wife? Why did she slander my father? Where is my father? Chuanjia, calm down. Calm down. How can I calm down? He Xingfu! Come out! Please… He Xingfu! I came for answers. We paid you.
Why did you send the letter? Chuanjia, calm down. I was just explaining to the officers. Who are you? Why are you yelling like a mad man? Why do you care? Who are you? I’m from the County Joint Investigation Unit. My name is Zhai Lin. Buddy, I… Don’t touch me. Fine.
I was just looking for you. Tell me, why did you take my father away? Where are you keeping him? First, we are not keeping your father. Secondly, as the secretary, it’s his duty to cooperate with our investigation. So, we need you to cooperate. When are you releasing him?
He will be back when the work is done. If there is anything you want to tell us, we are all ears. If not, please leave now. I have nothing to say to you. That must be Wan Shantang’s son. Yes, that’s Mr. Wan’s son. He’s the General Manager of Wanjia Group.
He’s on the village committee. Okay, understood. Thank you, Xingfu, for your cooperation. That’s all for today. If there is any follow-up, we’ll contact you. Let’s go. Hold on. Excuse me, are you the unit leader? I am the deputy. Our leader is Ma Jun. I want to speak with your leader.
I want to explain to him that Mr. Wan has nothing to do with this. It happened a long time ago. We withdrew the case. Xingfu, I think you have some misconceptions about this case. How should I explain it… Don’t bother. How about this? Stay out of this. Leave the investigation to us. No.
I was the cause of it. Return the letter I wrote you. Consider it never happened. I want to see your leader. Mr. Ma. I want to explain why I wrote the appeal letter. Please let Mr. Wan go. It’s all water under the bridge. We are satisfied with the compensation.
There is no problem at all. There is nothing to investigate. We are aware of what you said. As the secretary, he must cooperate with the investigation. We talked to him just as you came to us. We want to know the whole story. As for whether the investigation should go on, it’s not
As simple as you think. We formed the investigation unit not only because of what happened in your village, but because it happened in many places. We must collect information and report them. As for why we questioned Mr. Wan, it’s only for the sake of information gathering. You need not be worried.
You don’t need to be worried. I just don’t want any more trouble because of your investigation. My parents-in-law are honest farmers. They only want a quiet life. We only filed the complaint because we suffered too much damage. That was why we sued them. But those are all in the past. I’d like you
To understand that. If you need me to testify, I’ll gladly do so. I am satisfied with how Mr. Wan handled the problem. Alright. We will include your statement in the case file. We will assess Wan Shantang’s method as well. What is the joint investigation unit? What do they want? Could you ask around?
I’ve done just that. This unit was formed to investigate land acquisition disputes in the county. They’ve been to the neighboring villages. So, they are not coming after your father. They are not coming after our village either. Chuanjia, don’t worry about it. Our dispute with Qinglai’s land was basically resolved. Right?
That shouldn’t cause Mr. Wan any trouble. Play with me. Play with me. Your mom is over there. She can play with you. Play with me! I’m having a drink, can’t I have some peace? Take him with you. What’s wrong with playing with your kid? Good boy. Let’s not play with Dad.
I’ll play with you. There. See? Ultraman. You have no taste. You brought me peanuts to go with fine whiskey? You should know better. This is all He Xingfu’s fault. He got Dad into trouble. The two sisters are nothing but bad luck for our family. You almost got into jail because of them.
And now? The older sister had our dad taken away by authority. Touch wood. Don’t jinx us all. If anything happens to Dad, I will make the Wang family pay. I’ll forsake my name if I don’t kick them out. You should have kicked them out. Where is Ultraman’s head? Or maybe
Gang could round up some thugs and teach them a lesson. What? We are not outlaws. You’re back. Grandpa is back. Well? Are you alright? Grandpa, play with me. In a minute. I’m fine. I didn’t break the law or the rules. They can’t do a thing to me. Fine. Did you have dinner?
Pour me some drink. Okay. Get the food ready. Keep Fu company. So, Dad can’t drink this. Get some baijiu. Okay. The food is here. Based on the statement we got from Mr. Wan and He Xingfu, the problem mentioned in the letter has been resolved. There were some disputes when the contracted land
Was claimed. Eventually, both agreed to the negotiation. It was one of the cases in the county that ended on a good note. Mr. Ma. Since the issue was well resolved, we should finish the report and move on to the next village. That can wait. We will follow the proper procedures.
Mr. Wan left a good impression on me. He is honest and stoic, and he is capable. He lives up to his reputation when he turns this village into a star village. If we learn from his method and come up with a guide, the other villages can learn from him. That will
Benefit the people. Mr. Wan, is everything alright? Yes. Hello, Mr. Wan. Hello. Mr. Wan. Going to work? Mr. Wan, is everything alright? Carry on. Hello, Mr. Wan. Hello. Mr. Wan. Is everything alright? Yes. Did those people hurt you? Don’t be absurd. It’s normal for the higher-ups to talk to me about work.
That is a relief. Get back to work. Alright. I’ll be going. [Village Branch Committee of Wan Village] About that case, a case was filed and it was brought to court, but we didn’t handle it recklessly or judge with prejudice. Throughout the case, we did a lot of work and investigation. Eventually,
Communication and negotiation brought about the terms that satisfied both sides. Therefore, everyone was happy with the result. Our court has closed the case and reported it. We applied for it to be assessed as the annual baseline exemplary case. I know this case inside and out. [Police] I traveled back and forth
For the matter. I helped both sides. When it was brought to court, Mr. Wu, the judge, came to me. I… The effort was painstaking. I persuaded and reasoned with both sides. And eventually, both sides agreed on a settlement. If the case was already in a legal proceeding, why did the police get involved?
That seemed to be against the regulations. That was the nature of my line of work. Our main priority is to solve the problem. We can’t judge everything with nuances. Besides, when I went to their house, I rode my bicycle and I wasn’t in my uniform. I didn’t go there as a police officer.
I went there as a friend. You’re quite the enthusiast. She outshines even her own mother-in-law. She is capable and brings fortune to the family. Well, as soon as she got here, the Wang family struck a gold mine. The village and the company paid a huge sum of compensation. Qinglai and his father are both wimps. Without Qinglai’s amazing wife,
They couldn’t have gotten the deal. Everything comes with a price. She got the money, but what about Qinglai? Bad luck for him. When Mr. Wan kicked him, he could have passed out from the pain. My daughter told me when Qinglai was in the health center, he was screaming like a helpless piglet.
The sound he made! So what? I think the kick was well worth it. That kick got them hundreds of thousands of yuan. You’ve all been kicked before. I wouldn’t want to get kicked like him. Now, Qinglai might have trouble conceiving another child in the future. That was too much. What is your take
On the situation? Let’s discuss it. I think we shouldn’t make a fuss about it. That happens with grassroots. The common folks didn’t receive much education. Right? When you reason with them, they get flustered easily. It’s normal to yell or have some conflicts. We pretty much know all the details of the incident.
The locals mostly don’t take it very seriously. Most of the villagers carry the surname “Wan”. Most of the young villagers see Mr. Wan as their elder. They grew up with his teachings. Wanjia Group’s general manager, Wan Chuanjia, is Wan Shantang’s son. He is in his 30s. During the company meeting, his father
Slapped him in front of the people. People got used to that. But we consulted Mr. Wu, the judge. The Wang family sued Wan Shantang over Wang Qinglai’s right to health and body. But then, they withdrew the case. Can you confirm that? Yes, it’s true. We have a record of it.
We even have a photocopy of it. Mr. Ma. We are back. We got the medical record and receipts from the county hospital. [Medical Record] Wan Shantang is not only the village’s secretary, but he’s also a role model. His actions are a great influence on the people. We must be more careful
With the investigation. I think we should inform the higher-ups about this. Go to the county administration for the sewage treatment plant. Seek the people in charge of water resources and electricity. Explain everything to them. We need their cooperation in time. Mr. Wan. I don’t know them well. Maybe you should
Talk to them in person. I can’t really do it now. Is the investigation still ongoing? They are still here. They haven’t said anything in days. Enough about them. We have jobs to do. I’ll call the department heads and inform them of the situation. Okay. I leave that to you. Sir, have a look.
